Pale Day

A pale murky day at my place I sit in my room with no view Watching the spring in its autumnal phase How strange does it feel without you I’m like a stray dog here Who came by chance to check out What’s new in the depth of fear Where I used to hang around What an obvious lie that time heals Sclerosis may do, or dementia But if you are sane the pain feels Deeper, and more essential With each empty day I live through I feel more and more distanced From a person I was with you Now it’s a different existence You are closer, you live within And there’s me, but I’m not the same It’s a life backwards we bring Into each other, to carry the flame Where are you now, I’ll come to If it’s called nowhere, there I’ll be The only thing I need is you And your recognition of me.
